Mission-critical applications change with updates, patches, and new functionality. Yet, placing modified apps into production environments without rigorous testing runs the risk of systemic malfunctions that can undermine an enterprise’s mission.

Penn State, one of the nation’s leading public universities, was determined to avoid such risks. The university needed to load test changes and updates to its flagship course management system by simulating thousands of users in a test environment.

Read more about how Penn State effectively tests this key application before releasing it into production with the use of JetStor RAID Arrays.

Scientific research can produce huge volumes of data for analysis, a fact the Physics Department at Duke University knows well. Each of the department’s 12-plus research groups exploring nuclear physics, particle physics, and other exotic fields generates a terabyte of data every month. To meet the storage challenge this data presented, the research groups used […]
